After 10 minutes' walk we reach the beach. It's beautiful. Quite wide. It reminds me of a beach in Łeba. You can see a cliffs shore.

A beach in Wisełka with cliffs shore.

"...Wow, it's nice here!" - says Mila looking around...

When after a few hours we drive back, for a short while we stop at the car park near the hill Gosań. It takes us five minutes to get to the top of the hill, from where we can contemplate Pomeranian Bay. The view takes your breath away. Just look!

In the previous post I introduced my two new dolls Mila and Ania. And now, let me tell you more about Mila.

MILA is Waldorf inspired doll, 16 inches(40 cm) tall. She is made from special cotton jersey and is stuffed with sheepswool.

Her head is embroidered with mohair yarn in the colour of her hair. I made her short fair hair from the same mohair yarn by applying strand by strand to the embroidered head. Her hairstyle can be easily changed. Mila has embroidered blue eyes, coral lips and few freckles. Her cheeks are coloured with wax crayon.

Her clothing consists of a cotton jersey shirt and a pair of velveteen trousers, cotton undies and woolen shoes. When it is cold and windy Mila puts on a white mohair hat and scarf.
Mila herself and her clothes are made from natural materials (cotton, cotton jersey, velvet,wool and mohair yarns) and a lot of love and care.

Mila likes plants. To tell the truth she loves them all, especially flowers. You could notice it in the last post.

I've myself discovered that while she's sweet and caring she can sometimes be obstinate.

And when she feels like that she doesn't want to put her hat on when I ask her to do it.

Today I will tell you about a doll I have made lately. Her name's MILA.

I know MILA likes playing very much. She is always looking for playmates. She likes pretending to be Mom, and her playmate is her baby - that's her favourite play.

For a long May weekend we drove to a place called Łeba at the seaside. Of course, we take MILA with us. Near the house where we stay there is a small wood with little white flowers growing among the trees. Will MILA find a friend to play with here?

"But these flowers are so pretty! Surely, the spring has come..." - I can hear MILA.

Anemone (Latin: Anemone sylvestris)

"What are they called? I must have a look at them from near... They're so beautiful."

After a moment's reflection MILA is sure.

- "Yes, they're anemones."

Well, MILA likes plants, and easily recognises some of them.

Good for you!... MILUNIA.

"Oops... What's this? Whose shoes are they?"

MILA is so occupied with admiring the anemones that at first she hasn't noticed someone standing near and looking around.

A girl doll like her.

"Hello, what's your name?... I'm MILA. And YOU?...." asks MILA.

"I, I... My name is ANIA..." - answers ANIA.

Do you want to play with me?... YES!

And after a while ANIA and MILA are sitting together. They look happy.
